Bullied to Love: Book One of The Costanzo Series- Standalone

CHAPTER 6

After a couple of hours of my beauty sleep, I hear someone waking me up. I open my eyes to see a set of beautiful hazel green eyes, and I am wondering who those beautiful eyes could belong too. I focus my eyes to see it's the devil and my smile turns into a big frown. I sit up straight to answer him because whatever the time is, I don't want another lecture from him. By the looks from outside it seems it's late because it's already dark.

"You have to get ready in the next thirty minutes. We are leaving soon, and I hate lateness," Enzo says before walking out of the room.

I walk to the bathroom to get ready. I shower for fifteen minutes and do my makeup. Nothing too serious or heavy as I am not a fan of makeup, but the way my eyes look from all that crying I need some makeup. I put on a silver dress with a deep v-neckline, which is not too formal, but perfect for a dinner.

When the thirty minutes are up, I am ready to go. I walk out to meet Enzo, so he won't have a reason to tell me I am wasting his time. I walk out to see Enzo looking sexier than ever. He is wearing one of his Armani suits, with his Rolex wristwatch, which could blind me with how much gold there is on it. He looks as handsome as ever. How I wish he were a better person at heart, then maybe it wouldn't hurt so much that I admire his beautiful face.

"Are you ready?" Enzo asks.

"Yes, I am," I say while we walk out of the room.

We walk to the lobby, and I finally get a good view of the hotel, it is marvellous. The most beautiful hotel I have ever seen; words can't even describe it. We walk out of the hotel and wait for them to get the car so we can be on our way.

We arrive after almost 2 hours of driving. We step out of the car and I see a huge, beautiful house with different kinds of people going inside, looking fabulous in their beautiful dresses and well-tailored suits. I look at myself and feel like I am a little underdressed for the occasion. Enzo comes around from his side and steps in front of me.

"Let's get in. I have already wasted enough time. We don't want to keep my parents waiting. Do we?" Enzo says like we did not argue a few hours ago.

We walk inside, and I am gifted with a glorious view of a beautiful mansion. I try to keep up with his brisk pace as we walk through the hallway. We arrive at a massive door with gold doorknobs. He turns the doorknob and opens the door and I see a ballroom with different people already dancing to the sweet music playing in the background.

"Sit here and don't move until I come back. Am I clear?" he says.

"Yes sir," I say, thinking what an asshole he is, thinking he can control me. If it isn't for the fact that I don't know where I am I would have gotten up and left.

I have been sitting here waiting for him for what seems like hours—although I am pretty sure it's only a few minutes—but I am bored. I have been getting funny and strange looks. Some look like they want to eat me up. Maybe what I am wearing is too exposing, although I have only a little cleavage showing.

I am playing a game on my phone when I feel someone's presence. I look up to meet a good-looking man with green eyes similar to, but not as handsome, as Enzo. He looks like he is in his late fifties. Why must I even compare Enzo to whoever this handsome man in front of me is? I feel he is waiting for me to speak, so I give him the honour and speak up first. "Hi, can I help you?"

"Hello, I am Mr Fedrigo Costanzo," The handsome man says.

When the surname sinks into my brain I quickly get up to shake his hands so as not to seem rude. Now I understand where Enzo gets his handsome looks from.

"Good evening, Sir, my name is Katherine Luciano. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"The pleasure is all mine. May I ask why such a beautiful lady is sitting alone?" he says with a beautiful smile on his handsome face.
